It will be a bit more tedious than normal, but using a 1/2" snap ring would definitely be possible since you can fit a snap ring tool inside the small amount of space the Colson bore opens up. Alternatively, as you mentioned, a tapped hole with a screw, washer, and loctite will also be an effective method.

Another question - is your bellypan just not lightened yet, or are you using a solid piece of aluminum? If you don't have the resources to waterjet a diamond-bellypan, I highly suggest using a solid piece of 6mm or 1/4" thick plywood as a bellypan. It's much lighter than a solid aluminum plate, and will serve well as an electronics pan as well as providing the torsional stiffness the diagonals that a diamond bellypan provide.
